Nice. I would hate to fill that bad boy up daily.

 

[xxxspeedxxx]

thats nice. by brother bought one last year. they kind lookalike

 

[Lil' Shaun]

i should only have to fill it every 3 or 4 weeks. it has a 42 gallon tank.

Nice, good thing it's not a ford. 454 huh, bet it sounds pretty mean huh

i cant help but laugh when I see that kind of thing on the street

Ad if DSMs dont get bad enough gas mileage you're a glutton for punishment

 

[Lil' Shaun]

it wasnt the dsm's mileage that was killing me it was the fact that it would never run well for long and in about 4 weeks I would be trying to fit me, my wife 1 booster seat and 2 baby seats in the dsm. I can put most of the people I know in this thing with no complaints.

Bad ass..

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

is that........thing?

i got to admit it looks pretty good but damn gas is killing me atm today i filled my dsm with 50 bucks i think 3.70 gallon if i remember correctly. now imagine that beast...155$ for the 42 gallons.

 

[Lil' Shaun]

the last time i put gas in it, it was 3.44 and i had 14 tank when i went in. i shut the pump off at $100
and i got just under a full tank.

 

[TSITurbo95]

Lol, I say you will fill up more often than once a month with that thing. And bad gas mileage in a dsm? I get really good gas mileage in mine (24-28 highway, and around 20 city, and that is being not the easiest .

I hope you drive 2 miles/week.

Personally i drive about 20k a year. That would cost me $7500/year in fuel if you average 10mpg (3.75/gal).

A new Hyundai sonata averaging 35mpg would cost $2150 a year. That means after 3 years the Hyundai has literally paid for itself, plus it would still have $8K+ resale value if you decided to sell it at that point.

is that........thing?

Are you serious?
OP...that was a terrible buy with gas prices...but hey if you enjoy wasting money and can afford to do it...cool!

my daily driver is my 6speed formula firebird

24mpg city, 32mpg highway

I guarantee that he wont see 10mpg though. Its listed as "12mpg" stock in 2wd form, which is probably closer to 10, my buddies stock avalanche get about 8 real world driving. With the added weight,lift, and much heavier tires, id guess 5mpg if hes lucky.

My sisters jeep lost 5mpg just from going to a set of 33'' bfg krawlers on stockish rims. I couldnt imagine driving that beastly thing anywhere.

Are you serious?

Yea id have to agree with ya. I cant imagine a worse DD, maybe a tank?

...searched? That thread was just made the other day and I remembered it because this topic is some what similar. I guess Josh is the only one who can poke fun at ya, everyone else makes you take it personally. Relax.
